More Cuba Holiday Rip Offs

This is silly. If you read about low end all-inclusive places throughout the world you will get the same mix of reactions. There are much more important things to criticize about the Cuban regime. If you were a Cuban working at this place would you not appreciate a smile from the tourist instead of the all too common growl from typical tourists around the world? I've seen it on the faces of Brits and especially some U.S. Americans who are arrogant, ignorant, and pasmaos. In Spain I have seen some Americans and Brits fuming because dinner is not being served at 6:00 P.M. Que imbeciles! At any rate, what is important is to focus on the lack of freedom that exists in Cuba, not the idiocies of tourists.

What you do not realize is the lack of freedom in Cuba is now paid for by the tourist's dollars. It is replacing the former Soviet subsity before they flopped economically. Hopefully, I'll be helping the demise of Raul's slave plantation too by warning tourists of the danger and misery awaiting them in Cuba.

Of course money from tourists goes to the dictatorship. So does the huge amount sent to Cuba by Cubans in the USA and elsewhere. Your warnings to potential tourists will help bring about the regime's demise? Please...you are as delusional as one of your ancestors, the one that stepped on Jose Marti's dream of independence and sovereignty for Cuba.

Plus the sadddest part of your post was it came from the Los Angelas school district computers. Fortunately the FBI monitors these blogs and is now scanning your records to see if you are one of Castro's spies in need of a jail cell. For your sake I hope you are only ignorant because if you are a spy you just blew your cover.

Bwhahahaha!! Oh no run for the hills! The CIA is "scanning" this blog and their agents are coming to capture you and take you to a cell in Guantanamo because you dared to question a failed travel embargo

My enemy is ignorance. Ignorance, not the people who possess it, is what I target on my blog. I believe soon Cuba will be more free than America. But first Castro must die. The historical fact that cannot be denied is the more people own their own labor the richer they are and more able to provide for their own welfare. Castro cannot even provide toilet paper for anyone but himself and now he no longer needs it

And you sir are such a coward you support Castro but are too afraid to give your name. If you did that I would make sure that you are embarrassed by your support for Fidel until the day you die and beyond. Why don't you go live in Cuba fool but better bring lots of toilet paper. You're gonna need it.

You are confused and you speak as a little Fidel: my way or no way. I want Castro and his followers to let go of our precious island. In no way do I want to support his ilk. And I hope that future leaders are truly democratic and not twits like you. Still...you haven't answered my question...what is that non-sensical "succession from Castro." If you mean that you don't want him owning our island any longer I am with you. If you don't know what you are saying ven pa' la Florida y metete en el mar que hoy esta de maravilla...a ver si te despojas un poco. Sorry to sound mean, it's just that you answer like a fool. Our common wish for a free Cuba can't afford nutcases like you seem to be.

Pedrito why didn't you just say so. Why attack me if Fidel is our enemy? If you don't understand my intent just ask. What gives you the idea that I'm a "twit?" What is that anyway? If I appear a bit taken back by your behavior it is because there are plenty of Castro spies that come here professing to be anti Castro. They merely attempt to take up my time in mindless battles. So if you'd like to have meaningful dialog I'm all for it. But if you want to engage in name calling and inuendo I'll be foreced to ignor you. What are you Pedrito? Friend or spy?

Okay, fair enough. I am neither friend, I don't make friends online, nor enemy, my enemy is ignorance too. I should not have insulted you. Lo siento. I hope I can invite you to a drink soon not in Florida, but in a free Cuba.

About Me

Let entrepreneurs into Cuba, keep the tax low and watch the economic explosion happen. Whenever there are more jobs than workers the wages and benefits are driven upward. That's because entrepreneurs compete for a limited supply of workers. Those who lose the competition will not be as successful because they can't grow without more laborers. Finally, the first modern society on the planet will be populated by people who are neither slaves to the pharaohs of industry nor government. Cuban workers will have the best job security in the world!
